Antique Furniture/Kittinger Antique Item

I was giving this piece of furniture and i wanted to know the name of if and to sale it how much is it worth. Please give me a call or and email will be fine. I took several of pictures of it.

AnswerDear Ylonda,

Looking at your photo's and being a dealer that specializes in furniture made by the
Kittinger Furniture Company of Buffalo, New York, it is my opinion that your piece
was not made by the Kittinger company. In recent years, with the demand for Kittinger
furniture, some unscrupulous people have attached Kittinger labels to lessor quality
brands in an attempt to pawn them off to unsuspecting buyers. In plain words, this is
fraud and it would not be the first time I have seen this.

The secondary construction would also be a dead giveaway and lack of serial numbering.

If you go to my website and take a good look at the authentic Kittinger furniture I
have for sale you will be able to realize what you have is furniture of very low quality.

As for a basic price of a painted used piece of furniture like this, $40. to $65 is a
range.
